Preventing air leaks after lung surgery with TenaTac
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a glue-like product called TenaTac can prevent air leaks after lung removal surgery. It may help people recover more smoothly after a planned operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a special ventilation method during lung surgery to see if it can predict air leaks after the procedure. If successful, it could help patients recover more smoothly after a lobectomy or segmentectomy.
This study looks at a special patch called TissuePatch SF that doctors place over the lung after surgery to help stop air leaks. If you are having keyhole lung surgery, the patch might help you heal faster and avoid complications.
This trial tests whether a special gel (Progel Platinum) can reduce air leaks that sometimes happen after lung cancer surgery. It is for people having minimally invasive surgery to remove the upper or lower lobe of the lung.
This study is testing a new tool that checks for air leaks in the chest tube placed after lung surgery. An air leak can slow down recovery, and this device may help doctors detect it more accurately.
This study tests whether removing the chest tube right after a small lung surgery (wedge resection) helps patients recover faster and with less pain. It compares the usual care with a tubeless approach.
This trial tests whether a tubeless surgery technique (no breathing tube during or after surgery) is safe and effective for people whose lungs are not working well. If you need lung surgery and have trouble breathing, this approach might help you avoid a breathing tube and a stay in the ICU.
